Flower Meanings

23 Jun 2017

Summer is a fantastic time to get out into the garden, flowers have hidden special meanings, and in times gone by bouquets could be used to convey a certain message particularly amongst loved ones. Once you know the meanings, whether you are planning on planting a flower bed, or picking out a bunch of flowers, you can communicate a whole series of thoughts and feelings through each bloom you pick – like a living letter.

Even if you don’t have a garden, you can still grow plants in-doors, use a kitchen windowsill or a small outdoor space like a patio with planters.

Flowers & Their Meanings:

Apple Blossom – You are lovely, all that is beauty and goodness.

Bluebell – Faithfulness

Buttercup – Luminous

Camellia – Radiance

Carnations – These flowers express feelings, red for love, white for affection and pink when encouragement is needed.

Cherry Blossom – Like the name – a friendship should blossom.

Chrysanthemums – Like carnations, different colours express different meanings: red means love is reciprocated, yellow is discouraging and bronze is for friendship.

Cornflower – Delicate

Crocus – Youthful

Daisy – They may learn to love you!

Evening Primrose – Mutual devotion

Forget-me-not – This is exactly as it sounds – remembrance of someone during absence.

Foxglove – This may feel like love, but it is shallow and not real.

Gardenia – Agreeably sweet

Geranium – Another with different meanings per colour: pink – there is doubt; actions may need to be explained! Scarlet red – Maybe there is duplicitous actions – the trust is not there. White – a mind is not yet made up – undecided.
